Guenter Lewy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Guenter Lewy Guenter U. Lewy (born August 22, 1923) is an American author and political scientist who is a professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His works span several topics, but he is most often associated with his 1978 book on the Vietnam War, ''America in Vietnam'', and several controversial works that deal with the applicability of the term ''genocide'' to various historical events. In 1939 he immigrated to Palestine and then to the United States. He has been on the faculties of Columbia University, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He currently lives in Washington, D.C. and is a frequent contributor to ''Commentary''. == Early life == Lewy was born in Breslau, Germany (now Wrocław, Poland) in 1923. At the age of nine he joined a German-Jewish scouts organization called ''Die Greifen'' (lit. "the griffins"), which he has suggested was important in shaping his desire for an academic career.〔Ascher, Abraham. ''A Community Under Siege''. 2007, pp. 53–4〕 Described by Lewy as a "quasi-Romantic" group, ''Die Greifen'' emphasized music, literature, and song, particularly ''Landsknechtlieder'', encouraging the youths to avoid becoming "Spiessbürger" ("philistines").〔 By 1938, as persecution of Jews in Germany increased, Lewy began to lobby his family to leave Germany behind.〔Ascher, Abraham. ''A Community Under Siege''. 2007, p. 190〕 After Kristallnacht, in November 1938, his family immigrated to Palestine. Later in the war, when Lewy was of fighting age, he voluntarily took up arms against Germany, serving in the Jewish Brigade.〔Glazer, Penina Migdal and Jacobson-Hardy, Michael. ''The Jews of Paradise''. 2004, p. 60〕
